About This Episode

The Arch Deluxe was a massive undertaking for McDonald’s. This 1996 case study gives us a history of the company, a look at some attempts at premium burgers, and then drops us into the launch of the Arch Deluxe, what was supposed to be the launch of a new burger platform within McDonald’s targeting a more sophisticated customer. It may no longer be on the menu, but it was an important moment in the constant evolution of McDonald’s.
